The West Coast is experiencing devastating fires right now and the air quality is taking a major hit. While it won’t magically fix everything, an air purifier can help to remove some of the pollutants, ash, and dust from indoor air to help you breathe a little easier.
We’ve found a handful of air purifiers on sale to save you a bit of money while you try to filter the air in your home.
Though it’s compact, this little air purifier is capable of 99.9 percent particle removal, making it in the same league as medical grade filtration systems. In just an hour it can clean a room up to 470 square feet. The purifier features three fan speeds, a night light, and a sleep mode that turns off control panel lights so you can get some shut-eye.
Place this air purifier right on your desk and let its HEPA air filter reduce up to 99.97 percent of germs, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other allergens as small as 0.3 microns. Its activated charcoal filter even reduces odors like smoke and cooking smells. The air purifier also has a germ-killing UV-C light to zap airborne viruses like influenza and staph. It’s best for a small room up to 78 square feet.
Bissell has impressive vacuum cleaner filters, so it makes sense that the brand would also make an efficient air filter. The three-in-one filter uses multiple layers and activated carbon to capture 99.97 percent of particles as small as 0.3 microns and eliminate unpleasant odors. It can handle rooms up to 100 square feet and has a couple different fan speeds, including a whisper-quiet one for a peaceful night of sleep.
This is a bit of a heftier air purifier that’s more suitable for the floor than a countertop. It also uses a true HEPA filter to capture 99.97 percent of particles 0.3 microns and larger. The filter uses a three stage cleaning system to remove allergens, pollutants, smoke, odors, organic chemicals, and more from the air. It can handle medium and large rooms up to 360 square feet.
Unlike the other air purifiers mentioned here, this one from Blueair is also a cooling fan. That means you can relax in a cool environment while also breathing better as it removes more than 99 percent of airborne dust and pollen particles. This fan has a stylish, modern design with colored filters to fit in with your home decor.
